EIr. LoweII's Spelling.

Colonel T. G. Higginson is credited with
telling raey anecdote in regard to James
Russell Lowell. According to Mr. Higgin-
son, one of the Adirondack guides expresses
the opinion that Mr.. Lowell is IAN ignorant
cuss," and backs up the characterization with
this bill of particulars:
s'We11, l was out with him in a canoe, and
we were going down stream with the current
and making frst-rate time, and he didn't
know any better than to insist that we should
go over to the other side of the stream Just
to get in the shade of the bank out of the
sun; and we didn't get along at all. Now
call man that don't know enough to take
advantage OF the current in canoe blamed
ignoramus'
This same critical Adirondack guide, or
one of his professional brethren, figures in
another story, which is also told at the ex-
pense of Mr.. Lowell's intelligence. Said
the guide in question to gentleman whom
he met i'll the woods and who mentioned that
he came from Boston.

nous speller."

sturdy Little Phil.

\
General Sheridan was here also last week
He is q very quiet, unassuming little man,
rather thick set, but well knit. In appear
ance he has the steady eye and military bear
ing of the soldier, and is a very genial and
cheerful man in society. What is most no.
ticeable about the man, however, is there is
an utter absence of frills, fuss and feathers.
In manner he is the conventional man of the
world, with nothing about him to suggest
the general of the army. There hosts of
lieutenants and captains in society who put
on more airs in a minute than ''Little Phil
Sheridan" ever did in all his life. To see the
great eavalryman out at an evening recep
ton in evening dress, chatting with bevy
of beauties or refreshing the inner man with
a modest ration of oysters, one would sup
pose him to be probably colonel on leave
fresh from the frontier. Since his promotion
to his present rank his whole conduct has
been marked by quiet unobtruslveness and
freedom from ostentation that was not shown
by some of his predecessors. He bears the
honors of his exalted rank with the m odesty
of a great leader of men, and attends strict
ly to the duties of his position. Mrs. Sheri-
dan, who is daughter of General Rucker of
the army, is quite as much favorite in So
ciety as the general. She is an excellent type
of the wife of an army officer.

A Wise Dog.


From the MlddleS1X tOunty RecOrul
A dog owned by Colonel Newton, of
Cromwell, goes twice day to the railroad
station for the morning and evening paper.
He goes of his own accord, is always on
time and waits about where the baggage car
is to stop, in the morning at one place and
in the afternoon at another. There he waits
until the bundle is thrown off and opened
by the station master, when he takes his pa
per in his mouth and Immediately starts for
home If the weather is rainy he has a
piece of oil-skin which is kept in place
where he can get it himself, and of his own
accord he carries this with him, and the sta
tion master wraps it around the paper be-
fore giving it to him in order that it may not
get wet. On his return home he puts the
oil skin away in its place against the next
ra ny day
He knows the papers and insists on hav-
ing the right one. Once, says the Record,
he was fooled. In opening the bundle the
station master slipped one that was two
days old out of his pocket and handed it
TO the dog. Demo took it IN his mouth
and started for home. Arriving there he
took it to his master and was rewarded by
a pat on the head and kind word. Col
onel Newton adjusted his sDectacles and
began to read. OF course he at once dis
covered the trick, although he thought at
the time it only error. Calling
Demo to him, he told him to take the pa
per back and reprimanded him for making
the mistake. 1 don't know what it he
said to him, but the dog seemed to under
stand it, for he hung his head and really
looked ashamed. In a short time he was
at the station with the old paper in his
mouth, and going to the agent laid the pa
per at his feet and, looking in his face,
gave a short and very decided bark. as
much as to say, "Give me the right paper
and do it now" He was offered one that
was a day old, but after shifting at it for
a moment refused to take it, and not un-
he have anything to do with it. Since
| then, although attempt has been made
| several times to fool him again in the same
| way, he cannot be deceived, and So as 1
said before, it seems as though the dog
must be able to read.

THE ANTE-moRWON BILL,

The aLtl-Mormon bill, which has been so
promptly passed by the house, differs in
some important respects from the bill which
was sent over from the senate last winter
The first section is amended SO as to permit
instead of compel the husband or wife to
testify in all prosecutions for polygamy and
unlawful cohabitation. The second section
is amended so to as require the written affi-
davit of two creditable persons before the at
tachment of witness without previous sub
poenas. The thiro section of the senate bill,
which extended from two to five years the
limitation for prosecutions for b1gamy, was
stricken out. The fourth section, which
makes every marriage matter of public
record, is pi eserved. The fifth section, which
authorized the seizure for use in legal pro-
ceedings of any certificate entry Or other
record concerning any marriage ceremony, is
stricken out. The sixth section, which au-
thorizes proof of marriage by any evidence
now admissible; the seventh section, which
denies suffrage to woman; the eighth Sec
ton, which secures the secrecy of the BALLOT
and the ninth section, which limits the
jurisdiction of probate courts in Utah to
probate business, thus leaving all civil busi-
ness to the United States courts, are pre-
served the tenth section is amended so as to
provide that the disinher1ting of legitimate
children shall not apply to any child born
within twelve months after its enactment
Sections IA, IS and Is are some of the
most notable parts of the bill. These Sec
tions annul all acts of the legislative assem-
bly, of Utah, and of the so-called general as
sembly of the State of Deseret incorporat-
ing, continuing providing for the corpo-
ration known as the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, and the corporation
known as the Perpetual Emigration Fund
company, and make it the duty of the attor-
ney general of the United States to take pro-
ceedings to declare void and to dissolve said
corporations, and to pay the debts and dis
pose of the property and assets thereof ac-
cording to law and equity.
No wonder the head Mormons are
gloomy. If this bill becomes law, as it
probably WILL their power will be curtailed
in such way as to make their efforts to
further upbuild Mormonism in Utah com
paratively unfruitful. These are dolefu1
days for the Latter Day Saints.

bermuda Lit tier to the Hartford Times
Chatting with Mr.. Allen the other even
ing l made the remark that nothing would
give me greater pleasure than to take a ma
tive Bermudian, who had never left his
home, and set HIM suddenly in the middle of
the Bowery. With the elevated trains rush

roads noisily tinkliug through the street, the
endless crowds of people on both sides of
the way, the sparkling and glittering shops
on either side, the electric lamps making al
artificial moonlight, the jam, go" stir and
bastle of that wonderful thoroughfare would
certainly drive him insane on the spot.

''Bad year for crops this year! I don't

at stake, and considering, also, that the
passage and enforcement of such law
might seriously injure the trade of certain
cities or certain sections of this country, it
would seem to be desirable, before taking
definite action, to be assured beyond doubt
as to the effect of an application of the law
in all ordinary cases. We should say that
for this purpose it might be desirable to ap-
point national railroad commission, and
ask its members to investigate and report
upon the effect of a law similar to that
which is now proposed; that is, to apply
this suggested staue to the various condi-
tions that largely control inter State CON-
merce, and see what the result would be in
each individual case
